Locked Up by the Lord Video (MV)

The lord's got me in prison and he ain't gonna let me out
Til I tell him I had reason when I punched that preacher out
He told me about my sins and said that I was going to hell
I took him out with my left fist I said I know this all too well

I took women home on bar nights
I been in 27 knife fights
I stole a barrel of whiskey all those years ago
I'll never bet again on poker
If I can drink the holy water
If the lord will let me see the sun again

The lord has got me locked up
Cause of that bank that I had robbed
He might set me free if I say why I did that job
I had not had a meal in six months that made me full
So I grabbed my gun and went to town to make my wallet full

I haven't seen the sun now nor the stars
I've been so long behind these bars
I miss the green grass, I miss the trees
I just wanna feel that northern breeze

The lord said he'll have mercy if I leave those days behind
Those days of always drinking, always gambling and doing crimes
He set me down in Westport to head back to my hometown
I walked 50 miles in 50 hours to lay my body down
